Was a different age and cameras etc weren't everyday things, pic were for special occasions, there's no pic of me a a babe till school photos lol, so the idea of takings pics of dogs or game was never on the cards... my old man would have leathered me for the risk of the pics being used as evidence.  The youngster with phones on cameras etc will never understand that memories were our cameras, meeting mates for a wander was our facebook and the Exchange and mart our forum. 

The amount of em that get f---ed coz of evidence on phones an they jus don't learn they carry the phones abart while their out smashin pigs n all,t rest of it an its first thing the bobbies ask for

Those engines used to fit nicely into a series 3 land rover with a few minor adjustments.

Never really liked the landy myself uncomfortable and always needing the spanners  had a life long obsession and have owned dozens of them though!  I always fancied a Toyota land cruiser amazon but never got round to getting one

Few spanners on here
